Projectile Trajectory of Penguin's Faeces and Rectal Pressure Revisited [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We discuss a trajectory of penguins' faeces after the powerful shooting due to their strong rectal pressure. Practically, it is important to see how far faeceses reach when penguins expel them from higher places. Such information is useful for keepers to avoid the direct hitting of faeceses.

Automatic Segmentation of the Prostate on 3D Trans-rectal Ultrasound Images using Statistical Shape Models and Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work we propose to segment the prostate on a challenging dataset of trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) images using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and statistical shape models (SSMs). TRUS is commonly used for a number of image-guided interventions on the prostate.

Pieces-of-parts for supervoxel segmentation with global context: Application to DCE-MRI tumour delineation [PDF]
, 2016 Rectal tumour segmentation in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is a challenging task, and an automated and consistent method would be highly desirable to improve the modelling and prediction of patient outcomes from tissue contrast enhancement characteristics - particularly in routine clinical practice.

Optimization of Ensemble Supervised Learning Algorithms for Increased Sensitivity, Specificity, and AUC of Population-Based Colorectal Cancer Screenings [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Over 150,000 new people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year. Nearly a third die from it (American Cancer Society). The only approved noninvasive diagnosis tools currently involve fecal blood count tests (FOBTs) or stool DNA tests.

Rectosigmoid Tumor Causing Rectal Prolapse: Case Report
Turkish Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2016 Rectal prolapse is believed to develop secondary to anatomical defects. Rectosigmoid tumors are rare causes of this condition. This must be kept in mind in patients with prolapse; colonoscopic examination is recommended and biopsy should be performed ...

Massive chronic irreducible rectal prolapse successfully treated with Altemeier’s procedure
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2018 The guideline for the treatment of rectal prolapse recommends that surgeons select appropriate surgical procedures individually based on each patient’s overall status. However, in cases of irreducible or incarcerated rectal prolapse, surgical options are
